What do we do? Record any kind of presentation in any scenario Make those presentations: Easy to find Pleasant to view Accessible on any device or network Connect presenters and content consumers with one platform
Viewer Demonstration
Differentiators? Great playback experience on mobile/PC Rapid seeking Automatic index points Flexible layout Lots of metadata for powerful search Searchable, time-stamped slide content User-generated notes Abstract, speaker bio, folder description
That sounds complicated. Recording is very easy: Run the Panopto Recorder Hit Start Present as normal Hit Stop Presentation is online and searchable Works with wide variety of hardware Major investment in robustness
Why Search is Important With lots of content, the problem shifts from recording to discovery Knowledge workers need access to the right content, right now Managing large data sets requires a new kind of UI (see web mail clients) “Everyone wants to record video, but nobody wants to watch video”
“Core Three” Recording Scenarios “Traditional” presentation capture Capture/broadcast big events Ad-hoc end user capture Give your employees a tool for sharing information Hands-free, scheduled capture Automatically record scheduled meetings with no fuss and no configuration
Scheduled Recording Scheduling as a “software appliance” Schedule recording from any location on any available remote recorder Monitor scheduled recordings from any web browser Broadcast directly from remote recorder to viewers One server can support hundreds of remote recorders
Other major features Broadcast live events Report detailed usage statistics Integrate with content management systems and auth providers ActiveDirectory Custom integration API
Broadcast Same URL and UX as recorded session Users can take and share timestamped notes Ask text questions of presenter Supports very large audience sizes
